Ottawa Marathon Information
Race Kit Pick Up
You can pick up your race kit prior to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday May 29, 2010 at the Pfizer Health and Fitness Expo.
Course Information
The Ottawa Marathon course is certified distance and a Boston Marathon qualifier. The route is flat, fast and takes in many of the Nation Capital's tourist sites. There are excellent viewing areas for spectators and coaches. The Ottawa Marathon is the site of the 2010 Canadian Marathon Championships.
Start Corrals for Marathon and Half Marathon races only
Start Corrals are secure start areas designed to offer a quicker and smoother start for all qualified runners. Assignment to these start corrals is based on a submitted qualifying time run in a recent Marathon or Half Marathon race and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Assignment to a Start Corral is not guaranteed and must be confirmed by the participant. The corral system will be set up at the Start Line. Look for signs with your estimated finishing time and line up behind them.
Race Bibs and Timing Chips
Your bibs must be pinned (unmodified and fully-visible) to the front of your shirt and displayed throughout the entire race. All participants must attach their chip to shoelaces as per instructions in your race kits. Please be sure to write your full name, emergency contact information and any allergies or health conditions you have on the back of your race bib.
Participants are responsible for verifying that the timing chip device provided by Ottawa Race Weekend or the participants' own device is working properly prior to race and worn correctly during the race. Any problems with the timing chip device must be addressed at the Pfizer Health and Fitness Expo at the Corrections desk.
Chip Removal
Directly after the finish line volunteers will remove the timing chip from your shoe and present you with your finisher's medal. Runners who do not return their timing chip will be charged $40.
Sweat Check
Sweat Check is provided free to all runners near the start line in Confederation Park. A baggage claim tag and zip tie will be included in your Race Kit. Attached the tag to your bag and give to the attendant at the Sweat Check. Your bib number is needed to pick up checked baggage after the race. Sweat Check will open at 6:00 a.m. on Sunday. Come early to avoid line ups!
